  Google actually has much more than an intangible contribution to MOOCs. Look at the Google App Engine. It is what Udacity bases their courses off of.

  When I took EdTC 6323, I "accidently" designed a MOOC using the Google App Engine. Yes, I almost bit off more than I could chew, but I managed to finish in time. So this was a semester's work.
  
  It's very rough, but here's a proof of concept of the tools available to ANY of you as Instructional Designers. The course defaults to tracking scores for 300,000 students, but you can change that if you choose.

  Wow, Richard. That is terrific. I'm going to take that course when I get a free minute. Looks awesome!

  Oops. Didn't mean for you to take the course. Just wanted to let you know about the Google App Engine and show an example of what can be done by 1 individual in a short time. It's a pretty clean looking user interface. You can also just peruse the "Google Power Searching" example they give. No registering. Worth a 2 minute look.
